After years of being virtually ignored by this male-dominated industry, it looks like automakers have realized women drive, too. Although any of these models would be perfectly suitable for either gender, a few car designers have included features that seem especially appealing to women. If you’re looking for a new car with a little feminine grace and charm, make it a point to test drive one of these gems:

Hands-Free Access

Ford has thought of everything for the woman on the go with the Ford C-Max Energi! This car is an all-electric, plug-in vehicle with a hatchback that pops open with the wave of a foot. Of course, we’re sure your hand will also work, but just imagine how convenient this will be when your arms are full.

Whether you’re loading up groceries, the kids’ sports equipment, or a few essential items from your favourite designer boutique, the C-Max Energi offers easy access and plenty of space! Although the Energi means that you can bypass the expensive gas stations, the C-Max also comes in a hybrid version if you’re not completely comfortable with an all-electric car.

The Freedom of the Open Road

There’s nothing sexier than a woman in a Jeep with the top off—off of the Jeep that is, not the woman. Now that the Wrangler has been updated with more current instruments and electronics plus a better steering wheel, it’s a little more driver friendly.

So throw on your shorts and tank top, put your hair back in a ponytail, and slip on your favourite shades! This summer is the perfect time to take your new Jeep Wrangler out topless with your favourite girlfriend for a day of freedom on the open road.

Unparalleled Luxury at an Affordable Price

If you love the comfort of a luxury car, but you’re not so wild about an oversized sedan, the new Buick Verano might be the perfect car for you! This luxury compact is small enough to easily park in the tightest mall parking lot, but still offers many of the same amenities as the much larger models in this upscale niche.

With a European suspension, the Buick Verano handles just as well on the open highway as it does in a crowded shopping center. What more could anyone ask?

Who Says Girls Can’t Get It Done on the Track?

If you’d like to go green and attract attention, Porsche has the answer. As you pull off the lot in the new Porsche 918 RSR racer with the classic styling this brand is known for and a 560 horsepower engine hidden under the hood, no one would ever guess that this beauty is actually a hybrid.

Although this car isn’t really designed for the road, who says a woman can’t enjoy her own time on the track? If you love speed, don’t ever settle for the passenger seat.

Whether you’re spending wisely and looking for a traditional family car, a sporty utility vehicle, or a sexy sports car, today’s woman has plenty of choices in the 2011 auto market- sites like Edmunds will help you contrast and compare.

What will you be driving this year?
